\u201cRevoluci\u00f3n To Roxy\u201d is out now and contains over 100 color and black and white photographs . The memoir covers Manzanera<\/em>\u2019s fascinating early life, living through the Cuban Revolution, being related to a 17th Century Caribbean Jewish pirate and discovering an Italian musician grandfather! And of course he writes vividly of his time with seminal band Roxy Music and a cast of musical royalty including: Bob Dylan, David Gilmour and Rick Wright (Pink Floyd), Paul Simonon (The Clash), Chrissie Hynde (The Pretenders) and more. The memoir delves into exciting musical adventures and mishaps, from the early days of Roxy to the group\u2019s second and third acts and their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A companion music CD, of the same name, is also out now via Expression Records<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phil Manzanera <\/em>is one of the UK\u2019s best-known musicians and record producers, having shot to prominence in the early \u201870\u2019s as the lead guitarist with Roxy Music<\/strong>. He is acknowledged as one of the world\u2019s leading guitarists and is in much demand both as a performer and record producer. Now in his fifth decade as a professional musician, in addition to his work with Roxy Music, he has worked with many music luminaries, including Steve Winwood, David Gilmour, John Cale, Godley and Creme, Nico (Velvet Underground) and John Wetton (King Crimson, Asia). He has co-written material with many artists, including Brian Eno, Tim Finn, Robert Wyatt and David Gilmour. Manzanera <\/em>co-wrote Pink Floyd\u2019s single \u201cOne Slip,\u201d from their 1988 MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON album. Manzanera <\/em>has also produced seminal albums for Spanish- speaking artists Draco Rosa, Enrique Bunbury, H\u00e9roes del Silencio Aterciopelados, Paralamas and Fito Paez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roxy Music (Phil Manzanera <\/em>and Andy Mackay along with Bryan Ferry, Brian Eno and Paul Thompson) formed in 1971, establishing themselves as elegant, art school rockers, whose musical influence is still evident today. Their meteoric rise continued for 12 years until the band decided to take a break. During Roxy Music\u2019s extended hiatus (18 years!), Phil Manzanera <\/em>and Andy Mackay continued to work together. Roxy Music returned to the fray in 2001 with an international, sold-out tour and continued to play to worldwide audiences until 2010. In March, 2019, Roxy Music was inducted into the Rock N\u2019 Roll<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hall of Fame and played live at the ceremony. The Autumn of 2022 saw the 50th anniversary of Roxy Music; that same year the band played 10 dates in the US, culminating with a sold-out show at London\u2019s O2 Arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
